Bowel changes post c section

Hey gals sorry TMI but I’m 3 weeks PP after an elective C section - I’ve had a dodgy stomach for over 2 weeks now. Is this something to be expected post c section? I don’t remember these issues after my first!

What is dodgy stomach?

I’m in the mind frame now that anything is possible after a C-section 😂😂 my bowels have been slow moving since C-section more than dodgy, think from all meds and iron tabs to 🫣

Pregnancy hormones are wild. Remember “period poos”, our hormones cause havoc with our guts at times and post pregnancy is much the same as well xx

Mine was weird after my c section, took about 6 weeks for it to go back to normal, it's apparently down to the intestines all moving back in to place and obviously hormones

Thanks girls, the thought of it lasting til 6 weeks PP is terrible but I’m gonna pray it gets better sooner 😫💔 xxxx

@Kachi just bad bowel movements constantly going toilet and cramps 💔💔

I’m still like that 12 weeks after my section! I just assumed it was my IBS coming back after almost 15 years due to the postpartum anxiety 🤷🏻‍♀️ hormones probably do have something to do with it too though - especially since I’m on the pill too now 😅 my hormones are all over the place

I'm 3 months pp and my bowels have completely changed and nothing like they were before....I want to go back to normal 😅🤞

@Tayla you’re kidding 😫💔 it’s not good is it at all, I’ve already had enough just feel rotten with it constantly 💔 I hope you end up feeling better asap 🤞🏼🤞🏼 xx

I really struggles to go, I had bleeding and almost had to go into hospital. Was down to section, pain relief, took a little for them to return to normal.

I was constipated throughout pregnancy 😩 After my C Section, I'm popping twice daily 🤣 I'm now 6 months pp, and it still looks a little off 🫣👀

I had tons of issues. Really painful spasms when I went to the toilet either way. Couldn’t walk or even move when they were happening. 17 weeks PP now and still getting odd pains & spasms but miles better, calmed down after about 8/9 weeks I’d say. X

15 weeks pp, bowels are still moving strange here too!

I had strange bowel movements for months after! Randomly had to run to the toilet. It eventually went away but did last a while

I had to mention my bowel problem to my doctor she prescribed me a probiotic to help firm my bowels. I know it’s TMI but it helped I’m off the prescription now and just drinking a probiotic shot once a day. I really thought I was alone with this I hope everyone gets relief from this.
